Ancient Chinese curse: may you live in interesting times. This web site is my attempt to document, from my perspective, these "interesting times".

decent, honest, hard-working, patriotic, true-blue conservative

This is the kind of things that make me think there is still hope for the
world. Becky Miller was a former aide to Bill Sizemore, the president of Oregon
Taxpayers United, a sleazy anti-tax activist group that has caused no end of
trouble for Oregonians due to his misguided efforts to "reform" the
tax code in our fair state. She recently sat down to read Al Franken's new book
and was shocked to discover that she liked it. She liked it because it "meshes"
with what she has observed about some conservative leaders.

The leaders we conservatives have trusted have taken advantage of our trust
to line the pockets of the wealthy and powerful, and it's time we rose up and
drove out these greedy liars. They've hijacked and distorted our belief system
for their own gain, and in doing so are destroying our credibility.

And if we decent, honest, hard-working, patriotic, true-blue conservatives
of this country neglect the duty we have to our children and grandchildren, we
will never be able to work with those decent, honest, hard-working, patriotic,
true-blue liberal Americans that these lying creeps have taught us to despise.
We will never be safe to debate them or, when warranted, to listen to them and
maybe even agree with them. We will never be safe to work out our differences
or to work together. And we will never be able to build on the all-American
sense of unity that burst forth following 9/11, only to disappear shortly
thereafter in a cloud of lying, greedy partisan politics.

I'm still a decent, honest, hard-working, patriotic, true-blue
conservative. But Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and
the rest of you lying liars -- I'm through with you! (Read the book, and
you'll get that one, too.)
